Spiral Pierce damage.

[HristDead]

Hi.

I've already browsed the section about how to edit this, but it just does not seem to work at all.

In battle.c; First I've changed the values with 25%, then halved it, and now I've reduced it by 90+ percent, and yet no change in the game. I recompiled too.

How can I stop making Spiral Pierce hit over 50k? I'm using Renewal but my character does 10-12k per hit on myst cases, thus well over 50k for 5 hits. =/

I want it to make it max hit 2k per hit (10k for 5 hits) unless the user is using a contradicting elemental armor.

Any help please...?

You want to lower it or LIMIT it to 2k max? I'd suggest lowering it and I think you have edit wrong section in battle.c maybe, make sure you are editing RE's Spiral Pierce not Pre's Spiral.

Here is block for Renewal:

#ifdef RENEWAL
   case LK_SPIRALPIERCE:
   case ML_SPIRALPIERCE:
   {// Formula: Floor[Floor(Weapon Weight/2)*skill level + ATK ]*(100%+50%*s.lvl) * 5 multi-hits
 short index = sd?sd->equip_index[EQI_HAND_R]:0;
 int weight = 0;
 if (sd && index >= 0 &&
  sd->inventory_data[index] &&
  sd->inventory_data[index]->type == IT_WEAPON)
   weight = sd->inventory_data[index]->weight/20;	
 ATK_ADD(weight * skill_lv)
 skillratio += 50*skill_lv;
   }
   break;

Here is block for Pre:

#ifndef RENEWAL
case LK_SPIRALPIERCE:
case ML_SPIRALPIERCE:
if (sd) {
short index = sd->equip_index[EQI_HAND_R];

if (index >= 0 &&
sd->inventory_data[index] &&
sd->inventory_data[index]->type == IT_WEAPON)
wd.damage = sd->inventory_data[index]->weight*8/100; //80% of weight
} else
wd.damage = sstatus->rhw.atk2*8/10; //Else use Atk2

ATK_ADDRATE(50*skill_lv); //Skill modifier applies to weight only.
i = sstatus->str/10;
i*=i;
ATK_ADD(i); //Add str bonus.
switch (tstatus->size) { //Size-fix. Is this modified by weapon perfection?
case SZ_SMALL: //Small: 125%
ATK_RATE(125);
break;
//case SZ_MEDIUM: //Medium: 100%
case SZ_BIG: //Large: 75%
ATK_RATE(75);
break;
}
break;

I don't want to block it, just lower the damage.

But thanks, I'll try it anyway to see how it works with RE disabled, I'm hoping it won't be horrid.

Uhhh... a block means the entire code box. Not the obstruction 'block'....

[AnnieRuru]

under battle_calc_damage function in battle.c

before the ending line return damage;

add if ( battle_getcurrentskill(src) == LK_SPIRALPIERCE && damage > 50000 ) damage = 50000;

didn't test though
